The 10M/100M/1GbE parameters allow you to specify options for the MII interface and the 1GbE data rate.
Table 132.  10M/100M/1Gb Ethernet
Parameter Name Options Description
Enable 1Gb Ethernet protocol On

Off

When you turn this option on, the core includes the GMII interface and related logic.
Enable 10Mb/100Mb Ethernet functionality On

Off

When you turn this option on, the core includes the MII PCS. It also supports 4-speed mode to implement a 10M/100M interface to the MAC for the GbE line rate.
PHY ID (32 bits) 32-bit value

An optional 32-bit value that serves as a unique identifier for a particular type of PCS. The identifier includes the following components:

  • Bits 3-24 of the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) assigned by the IEEE
  • 6‑bit model number
  • 4-bit revision number

If unused, do not change the default value which is 0x00000000.

PHY core version (16 bits) 16-bit value This is an optional 16‑bit value that identifies the PHY core version.
